August 2003 in “Journal Of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular And Developmental Evolution” This review discusses the conserved molecular mechanisms controlling hair follicle development and cycling and suggests they may also apply to other ectodermal derivatives, like teeth and feathers, but it reports no new results.
18 citations
,
March 2003 in “PubMed” This narrative review describes various types of alopecia in women and their diagnostic and treatment approaches but presents no new clinical findings.
229 citations
,
August 2002 in “Experimental Gerontology” This paper discusses key mechanisms of androgen metabolism in androgenetic alopecia and reports the effectiveness of treatments like oral finasteride and topical minoxidil, highlighting the limited success rate due to factors like follicular inflammation.
47 citations
,
April 2001 in “Journal of Dermatological Science” This study found that insulin-like growth factor-I and hepatocyte growth factor increased the chemotactic migration of human hair outer root sheath cells, suggesting these factors have both growth stimulatory and chemotactic effects.
98 citations
,
November 1999 in “Dermatology Online Journal” This review discusses the effects of IGF-1 on hair follicle cell proliferation and differentiation, highlighting its roles in paracrine signaling, apoptosis prevention, and hair growth, but reports no new clinical results.
140 citations
,
December 1998 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Apoptosis in hair follicles varies by growth phase, with TGF-β possibly starting the catagen phase.
114 citations
,
October 1996 in “Dermatologic clinics” This chapter reviews laboratory models used for studying alopecia therapies but provides no new experimental findings.
36 citations
,
September 1996 in “PubMed” This study found that dermal papilla and dermal sheath cells from human scalp tissue differ from interstitial dermal fibroblasts in morphology and produce varying levels of TGF-beta 2.
441 citations
,
May 1996 in “Journal of Cell Science” This study found that keratin 19 may be a marker for skin stem cells, helping to characterize these cells in different conditions and potentially explaining variations in healing rates between children and adults.
26 citations
,
January 1994 in “McGraw-Hill eBooks” This review discusses various aspects of hair biology and pathology, including hair growth control, hair loss causes, and scalp conditions, and reports no clinical results.
